Security & Risk Assessments
Know your risk before you find a solution to it.
Most security programs start with a guard post. Ours start with an assessment. Systems Management Services now offers structured, methodology-driven security and risk assessments – built by career law enforcement, investigative, and security professionals – so you know exactly what you’re protecting against before you invest
in a solution.
Whether you need a one-time vulnerability assessment, a full security plan, or an emergency preparedness review, our assessment team gives you a clear, documented picture of your risk and a practical roadmap to address it – with the option to have SMS deliver the staffing, patrol, or monitoring solution that follows.
Why an Assessment First
- See the whole picture. A guard post covers the location. An assessment covers the organization – physical security, procedures, personnel, and emergency response, together.
- Documented, not improvised. Every assessment is delivered under a defined methodology (PROM™: Protection, Resilience, Operations, Mastery), not an informal walkthrough.
- No guesswork on spends. Know what you need before you commit to guard hours, cameras, or monitoring contracts.
- One accountable partner. SMS can deliver the assessment and, if you choose the staffing and patrol solution that follows – under a single vendor relationship.
What’s Included
- BSIS-licensed California contract security firm
- 40+ years of combined experience
- The only firm in the market combining structured risk assessments with licensed staffing under one vendor
Vulnerability & Physical Security Assessments
On-site evaluation of access control, perimeter security, lighting, surveillance coverage, and physical vulnerabilities specific to your property and operations.
Threat & Risk Assessments
Evaluation of the specific threats relevant to your organization, industry, and location – informing a realistic, prioritized risk picture rather than a generic checklist.
Security Planning & Policy Development
Documented security plans, standard operating procedures, and policy development your team can implement and maintain.
Emergency Preparedness Reviews
Assessment of emergency response readiness, evacuation planning, and staff preparedness for a range of incident types.
Who This Is For
- Commercial properties and corporate offices evaluating their current security posture
- Nonprofits and religious facilities that need a documented plan before applying for grant funding or making capital security investments
- Organizations planning an event or expansion who need a risk picture first
- Any current or prospective SMS client who wants their guard, patrol, or event security solution built on an actual assessment rather than a standard package
How It Works
1. Consultation – We learn about your property, operations, and specific concerns.
2. On-site assessment – Our team conducts the physical and procedural evaluation.
3. Documented findings – You receive a clear, written assessment with prioritized recommendations.
4. Solution (optional) – If you choose to move forward, SMS can design and staff the security solution the assessment calls for.
